Online gaming is brilliant. Single-player games can not create the tangible buzz and quickening of the heart-rate when you're leading a race on the last lap or sniping some guy in Australia. But this experience can be so easily ruined by a few small things. Technical or man-made, these obstructions threaten to tip otherwise well-balanced men over the edge of madness and into the pits of frustration-fuelled rampage mode. And here is my top 10 things that drive everyone mad about gaming online.
Adiba from NoobFeed writes- The ruthless, difficult roguelite Dragon Is Dead unashamedly displays its influences. For players who like to master difficult mechanics, the game offers comprehensive character customization, tight, gratifying combat, and a rewarding gaming loop. Although it struggles with level diversity, narrative depth, and sometimes annoying difficulty spikes, it's a promising and heartfelt game.
Little Nightmares 3 release date finally revealed following a delay, and it's coming before Halloween - watch the new trailer.
Borderlands 4 marks the franchise’s boldest evolution yet, introducing a non-linear campaign structure, a new world called Kairos, and an antagonist who controls time itself. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game enhances weapon customization, expands endgame content, and brings back familiar characters in surprising ways. Sector spoke with producer Chris Brock and lead writer Taylor Clark about the engine switch, narrative shifts, and how they aim to balance chaos with control.
1) Lag. Obviously
2) People who whine when losing and make excuses: "HOW COULD HE HAVE KILLED ME!? I HEADSHOTED HIM 50 TIMEZ!"
3) Players who don't do objectives
4) Players who go solo with vehicles
5) Players who don't do their roles/give away your position. You can be play tactically and some jerk will start firing his unsuppressed LMG right behind you
6) Team Killers
7) Players who don't have your back or are oblivious to their surroundings. When somebody starts flanking, they'll still be looking the other way unaware of the kill ticker or seeing the friendlies on their mini map disappear
8) (Annoying) Foreign Languages or loud gamers who don't really say anything important/people who play their music
9) Clan members who start bullying teams because they think they are better. Of course, this makes it fun when they start losing.
10) People who use cheap tactics (1887s in MW2 for example) and general noobiness like camping or getting one kill and then hiding in your base (Killzone 2 Team Deathmatch Clan matches for example, punks will get one kill and then hide in their base knowing full well they can wait for the time to end) I actually don't mind campers as they are simply defensive players for the most part, but cheap tactics do exist and its generally the fault of poor gameplay design. MW2 is the main culprit.
Lag, and Noobs, and people who don't follow the objectives.
I actually have a problem with people who quickly get on my case because of language. My main language is spanish (Puerto Rican here), but i speak fluent english. I believe it's totally unfair to play the race card and call me a beaner, or a mexican (nothing against my brothers)... I've even been actually called a taliban?! Seriously, racism is an awful part of online gaming. As a legal US citizen (born that way) I simply can't understand the low tolerance level of people when it comes to other cultures. It's bordlerline xenophobic.
This is from a TF2 perspective because its my most played online game.
1) Hackers.
2) Mic Spammers with music, voice clips etc.
3) Racism.
4) Campers.
5) Lag.
6) Auto-balanced to the losing team when you are just about to win the game.
7) Demoman spam.
8) W+M1 Pyros.
9) Facestabs.
10) Engineers building their sentry next to yours when only 1 sentry is a enough.
11) Engineers stealing metal from your dispenser leaving you with nothing to repair/upgrade your buildings.
